Amendment to Class D Airspace; Eastover, SC

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Approach Procedure (SIAP) requires additional

[[Page 69633]]

airspace. As a result, additional controlled airspace extending upward

from the surface is needed to accommodate the SIAP at Mc Entire ANGS.

An extension via the 164 deg. bearing from the Mc Entire NDB for the

NDB RWY 32 SIAP will be necessary. The length of the Class D airspace

extension southeast of the NDB will be 6.3 miles, and the width of the

airspace extension will be 5 miles.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, February 24, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On October 29, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by amending Class D

airspace at Mc Entire ANGS, SC, (64 FR 209). This amendment modifies

Class D airspace at Mc Entire ANGS. Designations for Class D airspace

extending upward from the surface of the earth are published in FAA

Order 7400.9G, dated September 1, 1999, and effective September 16,

1999, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class

D designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in

the Order.

Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments objecting to the proposal were received.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14

CFR part 71) amends Class D airspace at Mc Entire ANGS, Eastover, SC.

The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an

established body of technical regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.

It, therefore, (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);

and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation, as the

anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that

will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is

certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

Airspace, Incorporation by Reference, Navigation (air).
